Having read through the Debian notes it appears unlikely that 2.40 will
ever compile and work against the newer OCaml library in 16.04 LTS.
However, 2.48 does fine. There was some question about whether this
would work in 14.04 LTS. I have carried out a test using a 14.04 LTS
server and a 16.04 LTS client as follows:
Create /etc/apt/preferences.d/unison-ppa to ensure only Unison gets updated
from the PPA, as follows:
Package: *
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-eugenesan
Pin-Priority: -1
Package: unison*
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-eugenesan
Pin-Priority: 500
Add the PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eugenesan/ppa
Update the APT cache and update Unison to 2.48:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
After carrying out this procedure on both 14.04 LTS (AMD64 server) and
16.04 LTS (AMD64 desktop) Unison syncs without any problems. Hopefully
this will help others, prove a compatible version can exist between LTS
releases and encourage the upgrade of the main Canonical repositories to
2.48?
